About this map

Birney Day School stands as a focal point in this 2017 survey of the Tongue River valley, situated where Mission Cr meets the main waterway. The river winds through a landscape of sharp relief and high ridges, providing a vital corridor for transportation and irrigation in this part of Rosebud County. The map documents the Cheyenne Ditch, which follows the river's path, and various rural routes such as Ashland-Birney Rd and Tongue River Rd that connect isolated ranching and residential sites.

To the southeast, the terrain rises into the Custer National Forest, where a network of seasonal drainages like Poker Jim Cr and Poker Teechee Cr carve through the timbered uplands. This modern record details the complex topography of the region, from the Section Line Spring to the various forks of the creeks, illustrating the continuing importance of water resources in the high plains environment.
